Fraunces Tavern Museum

On Sept. 11, 2002, Fraunces Tavern Museum will remember the events of 9/11 by hosting an open house, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. All visitors may pay what they wish.

Standing in the fading shadows of where the Twin Towers once stood, Fraunces Tavern Museum is home to the site where George Washington said farewell to his officers at the close of the Revolutionary War. The museum's mission is to educate the public and encourage the exploration of the formative periods of American and New York City history.

Visitors are welcome to browse the museum's newest exhibition, "Surviving & Thriving During the Revolution: New York Battles Back" (on display through Dec. 31, 2002). The show examines historic events that speak to our experiences of today. In particular, it draws parallels between the events of Sept. 11 and our reaction to it, and periods of the American Revolution like 1776, when New Yorkers coped in a city under siege.

The exhibition will showcase works from the museum's collection as well as artifacts and documents from Fort Ticonderoga that help tell the stories of the battles that took place in the New York area during the Revolution. Artifacts on display include the tail of the King George III statue, which was toppled by an excited crowd after the Declaration of Independence was read in New York City, as well as a British major general’s coat.

Historic Bethlehem Partnership

Historic Bethlehem Partnership (HBP), a consortium of museums and historic sites, is presenting the exhibition "Four Freedoms: In Remembrance of September 11th," at the Lehigh Valley Mall Aug. 15 through Sept. 15. The show is based on the four World War II-era war bonds posters created by Norman Rockwell in response to President Roosevelt's impassioned plea during his 1941 State of the Union address for a world based on four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.

The exhibit features middle school, high school, and college students' works of art and photographs that represent how we live out these four freedoms in our communities today. The opening reception on Aug. 15 at the mall featured students from The Community Music School in Allentown, Pa., performing selections about freedom; a middle-school student who read his original poem entitled "Freedom"; a student reading of part of Roosevelt’s "Four Freedoms" speech; and students from various faith backgrounds offering prayers for peace.

On Sept. 11, HBP will be showing the HBO film In Memoriam: New York City 9/11/01 at the Kemerer Museum of Decorative Arts. HBP is working with the local chapter of the American Red Cross to facilitate discussion groups at the museum following each screening to discuss issues such as how to talk with children about 9/11, their fears and anxieties, and emergency preparedness.

On Sept. 14, 2002, HBP museums will be free to the public in "A Day of Reflection." Residents can come to their local museums to enjoy beauty, appreciate their history, or take the opportunity for quiet time in our galleries and gardens.

Historic Waco Foundation

Historical Society of Talbot County

The Historical Society of Talbot County has planned a number of activities. The society’s museum will be open free to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. During these extended hours, the conference room in the museum will be dedicated to collecting our community’s memories of the 9/11 attack. Everyone is invited to contribute photographs, small mementos, and stories to the Memory Chest, which will be added to the society’s archives and will be accessible to future generations.

From 9:00 a.m. until dusk, the society will host color guards from several local fire, police, rescue, civic, and military organizations who will present the national, state, and organizational colors in front of the museum on Washington St. At the end of the day as the sun sets, the color guards will retire and the street in front of the Historical Society will be lined with candle luminaries. We invite everyone in the Talbot County community to also place luminaries in front of their homes and businesses as a way to silently remember those who we have lost, to honor those who protect us, and to reflect on America’s freedoms.

From Sept. 11 through Oct. 5, a special guide to the society’s exhibitions will be available for visitors. The guide will highlight objects and images on display in the museum that reflect or represent American freedoms. Objects featured in the guide will be marked with small American flags.

Huntington Museum of Art

The Huntington Museum of Art will observe the first anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11 with an installation to be created by museum visitors, entitled "Field of Remembrance." It will be assembled outside of the museum's entrance, near the Ernest Shaw sculpture, Ruins XVI. Also, a short ceremony with bagpipe music by Roger Casey will take place in front of HMA at 5:30 p.m., Sept. 11, 2002.

Beginning Sept. 3 during regular museum hours, visitors to HMA may construct flowers with brightly colored cellophane and wooden skewers for the "Field of Remembrance." Visitors may then “plant” the flower in the grassy oval area in front of HMA. The goal is to have 5,000 flowers in front of the museum by Sept. 11. The flowers symbolize the number of dead and missing in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, and will create a community-wide participatory visual statement. This is part of a nationwide observance by artists, cultural institutions, and businesses called the 5,000 Flowers Project.

Visitors to the museum’s annual Hilltop Festival can make and plant their Field of Remembrance flowers during that event, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 8. A special booth will be set up at the festival for making Field of Remembrance flowers. Information about a Sept. 11 essay contest sponsored by the Huntington Mall will be available at the booth.

U.S. Department of the Interior Museum

The Interior Museum is creating a 9/11-related exhibit that highlights the response of the U.S. Park Police to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center and at the Pentagon. Many Park Police Officers stationed in New York City witnessed the attacks. Vessels from the Marine Unit were sent immediately to provide assistance. In Washington, D.C., the U.S. Park Police's Eagle One helicopter was the first on the scene at the Pentagon and conducted the medevac of the first two victims to an area hospital.

The U.S. Park Police, a unique unit within the Interior Department, has expertise in a variety of policing technologies. Artifacts and photographs in the exhibit demonstrate some of these tools and technology. Park Police have used motorcycles since 1915 for traffic control and diplomatic escorts. Historic photographs show the evolution of the motorcycle culminating in the pristine 1975 Harley Davidson that is on display. Also on view is the life-ring used in the heroic helicopter rescue of passengers from the Air Florida jet that crashed into the Potomac River in 1982.

The Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, Wis., will "celebrate freedom" on Wednesday, Sept. 11, with an "in remembrance" event at 10 a.m. Brief comments by Rabbi Dan Danson will preceed the release of 11 white doves.

The museum's flagship exhibition "Birds in Art" (now in its 27th year) just opened on Sept. 7. In the spirit of our particular institutional interest in art featuring bird imagery, we felt a dove release was most appropriate. The number 11 was chosen for two reasons: 1) To commemorate the events of the 11th of September. 2) To capture the spirit of the "lost man formation" (one short of an even dozen, the formation is flown by the Blue Angels, for example).

Library of Virginia

The museum will partner with the Stony Brook Fire Department in offering special programming throughout the afternoon.

The Carriage House at the Long Island Museum houses the finest collection of horse-drawn vehicles in the nation. Among the most remarkable are the vehicles used for fire fighting. On Sept. 11, between 2 and 5 p.m., people of all ages can participate in a special program on fire fighting’s past. The program will include story telling about fire fighting, and opportunities to try on a fireman’s uniform, re-enact a bucket brigade, and create a fire fighting work of art. The activities will be held in the Carriage House, where the museum’s fire fighting vehicles, fireman’s gear, and trophies are on exhibition.

Visitors to the museum this Sept. 11 also will have a rare opportunity to see an antique fire truck and talk to Stony Brook firemen about its workings. Uniformed firemen will be on hand between 1:30 and 5 p.m. to talk about the prize-winning truck that participates in fire department musters throughout the region.

Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami

The Lowe Art Museum, University of Miami, will present "Manhattan Stories: ENDURING LEGACY: Selections from the Permanent Collection.” The exhibition commemorates the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, with images that demonstrate New York City's enduring artistic legacy.

The selection of works from the Lowe's permanent collection, including such noted artists as Walker Evans, Berenice Abbott, S. L. Margolies, Diego Rivera, George Benjamin Luks, and Reginald Marsh, reveals varied responses to Manhattan and its environs. Each reflects a personal impression of the city, speaks to a particular artistic style and technique, and references an interesting aspect of Manhattan's history and culture. Collectively, the works offer a glimpse of what has been called the "visual cacophony" of Manhattan's distinct identity. Undoubtedly, this city of cultural diversity and contrast will continue to hold provocative allure and serve as a wellspring of artistic inspiration into the next century.

Lower Eastside Tenement Museum

On Sept. 11, 2002, a year to the day that Frank Reisman perished in the World Trade Center bombing, we remember and commemorate him in the place his family’s American journey began<—>97 Orchard Street.

The Michigan State University Museum will take part in campus-wide events observing the one-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Students in the Introduction to Museums Studies course, a core offering of the MSU Museum Studies Program, will assemble collages to express feelings and opinions about 9/11. On Sept. 11, 2002, the class projects will be displayed in the MSU Museum and the students will hold a critique/comment session on each piece, engaging in a discussion of museums' roles in cultural memory in communities. Also on exhibit at the MSU Museum will be a newly acquired 9/11 memorial textile, created by a South African Karoo women's group.

Meanwhile, outdoors, the MSU Museum will invite the campus community to create a flock of "peace cranes" in origami, the Japanese art of decorative folded paper. The birds are an international symbol of peace.

Mid-America All-Indian Museum

Midwest Museum of American Art

In observance of Sept. 11, the Midwest Museum of American Art will feature four limited edition collotypes by Norman Rockwell entitled, "The Four Freedoms." The museum's permanent collection boasts the largest Norman Rockwell print collection (over 70 works) in the Midwest. "The Four Freedoms" will be on view in the museum's main gallery and we will offer a special gallery talk by Curator Brian Byrn about the history of these famous images.

Rockwell painted the original works in 1943 while the collotypes were released in 1974. Rockwell was inspired by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's famous speech after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and thusly created the images "Freedom of Speech," "Freedom of Worship," "Freedom from Want," and "Freedom from Fear."

In addition to the special gallery talk, MMAA will feature the HBO video, In Memoriam: New York City 9-11-01. All of these programs are free to the public.

Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology

Our plans for the Day of Remembrance constitute an offering of support to our local community, including our staff. Although we are a small staff (26 full-time people) and a five-hour drive from New York City, we lost a sister, brother, niece, two cousins, and three friends in the attack on the World Trade Center.

We are acknowledging that area residents may want to spend the first anniversary doing something outside of their normal routine; or just doing something together with their family (realizing of course that school will be in session). Thus, we are making this Sept. 11 a free day for all visitors. The HBO documentary In Memorium: New York City, 9/11/01 will be shown continuously in the Galston Issues Theater.

In addition, we will use one of our current IMAX films in a special way. Lost Worlds: Life in the Balance, a film on biodiversity, takes viewers to the jungles of Guatemala, the Mayan Lost City of Tikal, and even the kelp forests off the California coast. It also has a striking scene of the World Trade Center, showing the Twin Towers in all of their glory. On Sept. 11, we will run a special IMAX schedule, with this as our only film to remember what the World Trade Center was like before 9/11. It will play all day at a specially-reduced price of $3 (normally $7).

Milwaukee Art Museum

Milwaukee Public Museum

People who visit the museum between Sept. 11 and Nov. 14 are invited to craft an origami crane and write their thoughts on world peace on the crane’s wings. Museum staff will connect the cranes in a peace chain and display them in the ground-floor atrium. Visitors can also trace their hands in paper and record their thoughts on human rights. Hands will be combined to form a peace quilt, which will be displayed at the museum on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Jan. 20, 2003.

The Minneapolis Institute of Arts

Minnesota Historical Society

Since the events of Sept. 11, 2001, the U.S. flag has had a greater presence in our daily lives than at any other time in recent memory. Join Colette Gaiter, assistant professor of journalism and mass communication at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and Lee Herold, Minnesota flag scholar and member of the North American Vexillology Association, for a public dialogue that seeks to explore the symbolism of the flag throughout its history. The discussion will examine the ways in which the past year has changed how we use and perceive this storied symbol.

The public program "The Flag: A Symbol and A Signal" will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 10, in 3M Auditorium, Minnesota History Center at 7 p.m. The event is free.

Minnesota Museum of American Art

Missouri History Museum

On Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2002, Missouri History Museum visitors will have the opportunity to view a special exhibition by St. Louis photographer Michael Eastman. Eastman captured images from television<—>the medium through which most of the world experienced the terrorist attacks. Specially written text by William H. Gass, a Washington University faculty member, will accompany the photographs.

The Missouri History Museum will also display artifacts donated by Dennis Grooms, a St. Louis-based search and rescue worker, who assisted with the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. Grooms donated all of his clothing, rescue gear, and a piece of granite from the site to the museum.

To help visitors express their shared<—>yet varied<—>experiences of 9/11, Missouri Historical Society historians will facilitate oral history activities called “Story Circles” throughout the day. The events will culminate with a 9/11 tribute, including remarks by civic leaders, a world music concert, and a candlelight vigil.

Mitchell Museum at Cedarhurst

Montclair Art Museum

The Montclair Art Museum’s tribute to Sept. 11, 2001 is a special installation based on the words “ART COMFORTS. ART REMEMBERS. ART CONTINUES” and includes an American flag on exhibit through mid-October. Additionally, we will have two special exhibits. The first is a display of children's artwork in the Children's Arcade Gallery on the museum's lower level, which displays a mural created by adults and children participating in an art therapy program sponsored by the Brooklyn-based Women Against Violence. The other special exhibition is United We Stand, a locally produced project.This installation is composed of individual four-inch square tiles painted by the 225 students of the Renaissance School of Montclair. The completed six-panel work was given to the Township of Montclair and is on loan for the exhibition at the museum, which will remain on view through Oct. 30.

On Sept. 11, admission to the museum will be free to the public. At 7:30 p.m., the museum and the Montclair Times will host community groups and residents for Evening of Hope II. Nearly a year ago, area residents came together for the first Evening of Hope, a program of performances, readings, and music provided by a wide cross-section of the arts community to "inspire hope and awareness" following the terror attacks on the World Trade Center. This year’s event is expected to include Montclair Mayor Robert Russo; Nathaniel C. Harris, Jr., President of MAM’s board of trustees; Jonathan Alter of Newsweek; Diana Stewart, wife of Michael James Stewart who died on Sept. 11; Frank Shane and his therapy and rescue dog, Nikie, who both did extensive work at Ground Zero; Elizabeth Ludas and Mark Porter from the Montclair Times; and Chief John McLoughlin of the Montclair Fire Department, who will speak on the tradition of ringing the bell that marks the death of a firefighter. The evening will also include readings and musical and dramatic performances by a number of noted local artists.

The Montclair Historical Society

The Montclair Historical Society is planning a Day of Remembrance that celebrates America's freedoms on Sunday, Sept. 8 from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Israel Crane House, 110 Orange Road, Montclair. The community is invited to participate in a roundtable discussion of the history of America's freedoms and the impact of 9/11 on Montclair. The roundtable will commence at 1 p.m. and will include brief presentations followed by discussion with the audience. Confirmed presenters to date are Dr. Joel Schwartz, chair of the History Department at Montclair State University; Mark Porter, editor of the Montclair Times; Major Paul Cain, commanding officer of the Salvation Army in Montclair; and John Morris, Montclair resident for over 25 years and employee of Mediterranean Shipping Company in New York City.

For the rest of 2002, a memory book will remain in the historical society's library for residents to write down their own thoughts and feelings about 9/11 and how it has changed their lives and their community. Entries for the book also can be sent via mail or e-mail. The memory book will then be permanently placed in the historical society's collections.

This celebration of life will begin on 9/11 with an 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. concert by a chamber orchestra of the Oklahoma City Philharmonic under the Survivor Tree. The community has been invited to bring a brown bag lunch to the Memorial and spend their lunch hour reflecting on the hope that our city has come to realize over the seven-and-a-half years that have passed since the terrorist attack in the heart of our city. During a short ceremony, we will reflect on the six freedoms and have a brief explanation of personal relevance. For instance, in examining the freedom from fear, we will hear from an Air Force pilot who has been on mission in Afghanistan; for the freedom to inquire, we will hear from a local news person who covered both terrost attacks.

Beginning Sept. 11, we will offer a Friends for Freedom pass with a buy-one, get-one-free discount. We encourage visitors to bring a friend who has not visited the Memorial before in celebration of our freedoms and to reflect on how far our city has come and offer hope to the folks in Washington, New York, and Shanksville.

"A Shared Experience: 04.19.95-09.11.01" a special Memorial Center exhibit that opened on April 19, 2002, the seventh anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, shows the similarities of these two dates in American history. The terrorist attacks on all four cities (Oklahoma City, New York City, Washington, D.C. and Shanksville) brought shared experiences through terror, courage, response, and lessons learned. Beginning next spring, this exhibit will travel to the three cities targeted by terrorists on 9/11/01.

Slate Valley Museum

The Slate Valley Museum is mounting a small exhibit about our slate industry's contribution to rebuilding the Pentagon. The museum interprets the history of the slate industry along the New York and Vermont border, with emphasis on the many immigrants who came to the valley from 1850-1920 to work in the quarries and to experience America's freedoms. Slate from our region is being used to rebuild the Pentagon's roof, which was damaged in the terrorist attack. Western Slate Company of Poultney, Vt., under the direction of Evergreen Slate Company of Granville, N.Y., is supplying at cost 700 to 800 squares (a square equals 100 square feet) of green slate, and J. R. Loomis Trucking of Granville is transporting the slate to the Pentagon.

Our exhibit at the museum includes a framed piece of slate that was recovered from the Pentagon roof after the attacks. In appreciation, the National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) awarded the piece to Evergreen Slate Company, which then donated the roofing slate to the museum's permanent collection.
